Insights

From laying the foundation to anticipating investors' asks to understanding the demands of public-company life, the road from startup to IPO is paved with unique challenges. Dentons' IPO Readiness Workshop, held in partnership with the NYSE, along with Grant Thornton, Edelman, Pearl Meyer and Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., tackled all those challenges head-on.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has re-proposed Rule 13q-1 and an amendment to Form SD to implement Section 13(q) of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which was added by Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The new rules would require "resource extraction issuers" to disclose annually payments that such companies (or their subsidiaries or entities under their control) make to a foreign government or the US federal government for the purpose of the commercial development of oil, natural gas or minerals. The SEC believes that these rules will increase the transparency of payments that resource extraction companies make to foreign governments and hold those governments accountable for their natural resource wealth. The rules would require companies to disclose the type and total amount of payments that they make to each government for each project.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted Regulation Crowdfunding, a series of rules that implements the provisions of Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, and allows startups and small businesses to raise up to a maximum aggregate amount of US$1,000,000 through securities-based crowdfunding in a 12-month period, and allows investors to invest up to US$100,000 across all securities-based crowdfunding offerings in a 12-month period, depending on the investor's annual income and net worth.
